really hope that we realize that we'll have to put up with these restrictions until at least the summer. when their new name. half of the chancellor angela merkel will discuss tougher restrictions with state leaders have made concerns that new virus mutations could cause a surge in new cases. into highly infectious variants of the corona virus have been detected in germany one variant of spray 3 great britain the other through south africa and at the moment we have further watering reports from brazil . some opposition politicians are calling on the government to do more to stop people from going to work. perhaps a possible for about 40 percent of all office workers to work from home last week only 14 percent did so we did better even during the 1st lock down so there is room for improvement. also on the agenda after various made f f p 2

must compulsory in shops and on public transport they have higher filtering capabilities and it said the federal government is considering a nationwide adoption of the measure but these masks are more expensive people are can't afford them will receive vouchers. with health officials say in case thomas remain too high tougher restrictions are likely to be announced. political correspondent you know has us on the story for us nina is a tougher lock down on the way. what does seem clear at the moment is that the existing measures that are already quite strict will likely be extended until the 15th of february so schools will remain closed as will museums the it is in shops etc and the hope of course is that we will all have more information on the new mutations of the virus and that we can then better assess the risks that those variants proves and other than that there are 3 new measures that are on the table

and are being debated number one in the report mentioned the professional face masks that bavaria has made compulsory on public transport and in shops and the discussion is whether professional face masks will be compulsory nationwide and the compromise seems to be that this measure would also extend to face masks worn by doctors in hospitals so not necessarily just s p 2 masks that are more expensive but also the slightly cheaper version of it the government also wants to force companies to have more people work from home office workers that is that is number 2 and then 3 there is a debate about the nightly curfew but there is a lot of resistance from some regional leaders and they ultimately have to enforce those measures ok so there are some some new measures though and they're included in the list of possibilities but how about and you alluded to this as well better in forcing the measures that are already in place. the feeling that we're getting

is that a lot of the current restrictions apply to people's private lives and that politicians are reluctant to send police people into people's homes to check whether people are really adhering to those restrictions that apply in the private sphere and so at the moment they're trying to target the workplace more with those new restrictions so that more people work from home which would mean that fewer people use public transport for example and it is a bizarre situation if you look at what's happening at the moment you can be one person outside of your own household in private that is likely to stay in place but then at work when you're in office working together with 10 or so colleagues for 8 plus hours in the office and that of course is beginning to undermine people's acceptance of those measures that have been many appeals by politicians to employers but now politicians are saying that they might well have to use the last

resort and actually force employers to prove that it's necessary to have people work in the office if they can prove that then people will have to work from home understood you know can you explain to us because i mean we mentioned at the beginning of the program that there is this slight downward trend in the country when it comes to new infections is there a reason for at least some cautious optimism there. i think you have to keep in mind 2 important things one is the numbers are not going down as fast as is necessary in the us fast as people had hoped even though large parts of public life have been closed since november essentially and then the 2nd big point is that there's a huge fear of those new mutations of the virus nobody knows just how transmissible it is yet also among politicians there's a big fear the hospitals are feeling the strain they've been under strain for months now and $6000.00 people per week have died on average so they got a lot so politicians are under pressure to impose more measures of course

vaccination has started but it has been off to a very slow start up some some really important contacts there do you know using you know has a thank you for and here's a look at other developments in the pandemic an independent panel has criticized china and the w.h.o. for their response to the pandemic the panel says china should have been more forceful with the measures that it took and that the w.h.o. should have declared an emergency sooner an estimated 1 point one in 8 excuse me people in england tested positive for corona virus antibodies in december suggesting that they had covert 1000 previously that's roughly double the october figure and russia's consumer health watchdog says that russia's 2nd vaccine against kovan 1000 is 100 percent effective based on the results of clinical trials russia began mass trials of epi vax corona which is being developed by siberia's vector institute in november. u.s.

president elect joe biden's team says that he will not lift coronavirus travel restrictions for europe the u.k. ireland and brazil the comments come after outgoing president donald trump announced a those curves would be lifted from january 26th a spokesperson for biden said that his inner ministration plans to further tighten public health measures around international travel to help contain the virus all air passengers bound for the u.s. have to test negative for covert 1000 within 3 days before arriving in the country for. meantime the f.b.i. is vetting all 25000 service personnel involved in security for joe biden's inauguration on wednesday officials have expressed concern about a possible insider attack or other potential threat now washington d.c. has become a fortress city of roadblocks and barricades security concerns have gripped the

city since a violent mob storms the capital on january 6th. downtown washington usually buzzing with people and traffic know a ghost town. on the other side's traffic jams and checkpoints a city split into the center has become a militarized zone. and the u.s. capitol remains under a strict lockdown just days before the presidential inauguration we are just outside the closed perimeter and this is close as the general public can get to the u.s. capitol which is currently cordoned off by a 3 meter high fence and razor wire which is currently installed on top of the fence we're going to go inside the perimeter now to get a glimpse on the preparations that are underway for an inauguration day that will be unlike any other in american history. soldiers instead of visit or is some

25000 members of the national guard us securing the capitol grounds there has been some concern about a potential inside threat as not everyone is happy with the new president it's a sticky situation as far as politically and. i have my own i have my own thoughts below but in uniform i you know i can't convey them but i'm here to do a job i'm here to follow the one or 2 organizations doing and then we're carrying on with that mission. president of the united states joseph jr and on the west side of the u.s. capitol some normalcy is coming back rehearsal's and soundchecks where 2 weeks ago thousands of supporters stormed the symbol of american democracy. the rehearsals for the inauguration ceremony were just completed and on this very long usually thousands gathered to cheer for their new president well this year

many things will be different fear of an attack on the president means us. ceremony with hardly any guests the national mall will remain shut down and authorities asked citizens to stay far away for the sake of their own safety. in the area old buildings have been boarded up again after a year of protests and a pandemic these views have become a common sight for many washingtonians but businesses are suffering the business was not from last 8 months because we're in the commercial area and this is the commercial hub all the offices around us are closed and the security has beeves of so much uganda and we're moving over delivery business but mostly all the roads are closed. a life behind fences and roadblocks those who live here can't wait until the new president is sworn in. and for more i'm joined by a correspondent who crossed

a william what's expected on inauguration day and how long could these increased security measures last. well as we just saw in the report huge security presence more than double the number of national guard troops at this inauguration than normal inaugurations of course a presidential inauguration a presidential event is always going to be very high security but there's all these extra layers that we've been hearing about the last several days since that attack that u.s. capitol mostly white fundamentalist mob really and the threat of the the acute threat is being said that it might extend thursday a day after the inauguration but let's not forget that the far right groups white supremacist groups these anti-government groups they did not start in this election cycle they're not going to end in this election cycle and while washington has long been a very high security zone especially post 911 it was always looking towards international and particularly in islam this threat but if you watch a lot of that video from inside the capital i've watched a lot of it

a lot of the language and the religious imagery from these people professing to be christians very similar to the kind of islamist extremism that we saw that we've been hearing threats about for decades now and that threat is going to going to continue into the vital ministration as f.b.i. and law enforcement officials have long said has long been a threat towards the united states and pretty bleak picture here painting also i'd like to ask you about another aspect here we know that outgoing president donald trump has not been seen in public for a week what has he been up to. well as you mentioned at the top before that report he made the statement that they were he was going to allow travel especially from europe again because the united states is going to start requiring negative test proof of negative tests if you're coming into the country the bizarre thing is of course that's going to happen starting january 26th which is 6 days after donald trump ceases being president and joe biden becomes president dividing ministry so

that's just not going to happen they're going to continue you know keeping the corona dragnet so to speak a very much present. that should be noted there's been really mixed signals from the scientific community this entire pandemic whether blanket travel bans even work if they're the most effective way to control the virus but the c.d.c. the centers for disease control has said that by march they're fearing that the dominant strain infecting people and spreading in the united states is going to be this extra extra vi ruined strain that we've seen starting in england in the last several weeks and that's why they're trying to prevent a willing just quickly tom planning to pardon as many as 100 people and his last day in office according to reports what are you hearing that's right and i think more importantly on who might be on that list is who doesn't appear to be on that list which is many of the controversial figures in trump's inner circle members of his family who have not been charged any crimes but could theoretically be preemptively pardoned even donald trump himself preemptively pardon which would be of course a very constitutionally questionable and also his aides are saying don't do that

because it would incriminate him it would be basically be an admission of wrongdoing but he still president through noon on wednesday and he can effectively do whatever he wants in that realm of pardoning we'll have to see what actually comes out of his announcements and william glue croft reckon it down for us thank you. you're watching news still to come on the program an extreme cold snap and who left them freezing and they say that they've been forgotten with our correspondent visits a betrayed shanty town that's been without power for weeks. the 1st rescuers in china are stepping up efforts to try and reach $22.00 miners trapped in a gold mine in eastern china the men have been stuck underground since an explosion at the site in shandong province 10 days ago authorities have managed to establish contact with some of the miners but fears for their survival are growing.

for more than a week now these emergency workers have been doing all they can to reach the minus . 22 men are stuck more than 600 meters underground. rescuers have been drilling holes in the rock to try to create a way out for the men. but the local man says they're facing serious problems both are. due to the heavy accumulation of the struggling materials shockwave formed by the blast caused serious damage to the facilities inside the shaft good work pipelines cables and equipment of the steel structure were all twisted together and piled up sheets so the current clearing work is relatively difficult. and the pressure is mounting. using a wire that was fed into the mind of the trapped men were able to send up a note describing the horrific situation they found themselves in.

it said the water was rising around them and they were breathing in toxic fumes they said they were exhausted and urgently needed medical supplies some were injured and they begged the rescue was not to give up. since then the authorities have managed to set up a telephone line to talk to the men. they've also been able to get food and water to them but so far 10 of the 22 miners have given no signs of life since the blast . one mine appears to be stuck alone 100 meters below the others. china's mining industry has a pool safety record but in this case questions are also being asked about why the incident was not reported until one day after it took place before it is approach an investigation but the 1st priority is to try to save the lines of the minus. let's take a look at some other stories making news italian prime minister just 70 conti is

football is an unforgiving arena. a stroke of luck can make a club's de la a slip in concentration can lead and deflated and who better to blame than the main man on the sideline. 5 coaches have already been sacked in abundance league and this season and the pressure was mounting for a few others ahead of match day 16 marcus to start and bruno loveseat were putting on a brave face despite feeling the heat as cologne and held so we're desperate not to lose. the pressure is off of those fisher after performing above expectations and when young but linspire on another big surprise against labor accusing. the guards pelligrino montserrat so he's in the same enviable position he masterminded another impressive result against glasgow. yet for those at the top like eden says it wins are the only cards even worse chanting

and dortmund failed to strike gold with a drought showing against minds. aspect pansy flick let's start with the buying coach these near perfect start to his coaching career had come crashing down in recent weeks. has hansie flick lost his or of invincibility last time around byron munich squandered 2 nil lead away of men to bloodbath going on to lose 32 having weaknesses in their tents badly exposed. and then mid week things went from bad to worse when they got knocked out of the german count in just the 2nd round by the 2nd division side will shine feel their defense once again not up to the task. and now they have to face 1st

chance twice fribourg who have been in red hot form the team came into the alley on serena on a 5 game winning streak and brimming with confidence how would flick change his defense to get them back into form. well unlike last week he had it starts to show homeboys hang a bulge amount of hours and daveed allopathy and under heavy snow flick was confident his attack at least wouldn't let him down with just 7 minutes gone off with love and off he opened the scoring for biron. the pole is now the 1st player to ever score more than 20 goals in the 1st half above this latest season thomas miller providing the assist. byron mainly kept feinberg pinned in their own half. the visitors 1st real chance came in the 15th minute with all done showing firing just wide of the net. 10 minutes later

sayers can happily unleashed a rocket. but some of his effort saved by florida. flake would have loved to extend the lead and take the pressure off his defense but leave our son a also missed the target. still biron went into. of time one nil up. on the hour mark 11 dosti very nearly scored his 2nd of the day he could only hit the crossbar and the scoring mange one minute. reacting well to pounce on the follow up shot from lay on gorecki. 2 minutes later alfonso davies needlessly can see there's a corner. the kind of flats and concentration that has transpired dearly in recent weeks time or make their post paid for the ensuing kick pay to send that with the

money. the former byron striker scoring less than half a minute after being subbed on and suddenly flick side have thrown away the lead. manual neuer doing his best without luck to mask his teammate's poor defense. byron were not to be held in check for long though thomas millar putting them back in front in the 74th minute. it might not have been the prettiest goal but biron will take it. could byron's defense keep things sealed at the back and ride out the lead for a win. kneels pedrosa nearly spoiled that plan and added time his shot spoiled only by the woodwork. and that's how it ended like spire and sneak away with a tough 21 victory. tries could only shake his head as if he

had fully expected to beat the league leaders by unsweetened defenses making their opponents bolder is that now the new normal in the bundesliga. making his side pull. was among the challenges for aid in tells it in his 5th outing as dormant can take a coach not least given the supposedly weaker opposition. might says man on the sidelines was taking charge of just his 2nd game spence and used to play for the club and was recruited from the austrian 2nd division side literally for a fee of $1.00 and a half 1000000 euros. fans amid freezing temperatures and the best falling start the bonus points for toughing it out is certainly went to the guests. what is the game kicked off were quick to show who was boss. the 2

minute scene and an incumbent had the ball and then my. mind's looked to be on to another hiding but after consulting the a on the man in black belt the gold cross provided thomas many marginally offside. while dortmund dominated the 1st off they just couldn't capitalize thanks to sterling work from robin set up the post getting in the white and sometimes just missing and. that was. the goal is it remains going into halftime with dortmund once again left frustrated. we had a few good opportunities in the 1st half was nil nil a tough time and then we started in the 2nd half not the way that we liked so we we lost ball position too early we didn't keep the patients we didn't keep them moving and might certainly keep the hosts moving in the 2nd half including the next one

bookies go. by letting us to know lee gave the visit his a shock lead just before the hour with an absolutely stunning shot questions will again be asked about why nobody plays him down. the goal seems to put a damper on dortmund's game as mike's now became the most. inside. i thought alexander came desperately close to making it to. him and just to drop and fail to clear down a lot so i was then also denied by the what but i was there was a sensation in the making for spence and present except his shite then showed why the bottom of the table with the kind of defending that's a good 2 opposing teams and thomas money was a great deal recipient. was said celebrations from the belgian after his 1st goal in the bundesliga perhaps due to meit's his

complicity. yes if only because he's passed a slumbering miss and the cats a to cross into the box before more slapstick defending queued up many a perfectly i would there be better luck in store for mites. it appeared not as the rest pointed to the spot at the same end just one minute later we had acted taking the ball and the man. in the. marker roy stepped up to convert. the ball completely was i born one at hunter rock bottom lines and it's not the 1st time dortmund have stumbled against a supposedly we can't. we play to win that's the only reason you know i even i prefer to lose that game than even a draw it's even more disgusting they open them as they come to death month

thinking that they can take points and that's the problem because on the scene it can never happen. but it did happen mike's picked up a deserved point to the delight of the new man at the helm fence and. the way he wants us to play the way we show today we want to put pressure on our on our opponents and don't let down. greed so and that's why we keep training every week spence and was no random choice for my kids apply is player who earned his spurs on the pitch under previous coaches like thomas turkle and you have been close we have to work on our game we have to work on the group we have to wait go work on the culture we have to work on the mentality so. like i said the list is long. one guy who certainly has been showing the right mentality is robin said now he's on match day here off to helping to secure that precious point some minds.

mindful people have been sent down the homegrown product of mind says youth system kept his team in the game against dortmund with his saves in the 1st half. a grand show which to rick say that having said no. to the course is goal so to make a stop to it says that. they are only seem to be in the right place at the right time. maka really shouldn't once again sit it comes up take 2 months look at the goalkeeper spreads himself to work wonderfully to make this a. safe never may have been heroic but mine says man between the posts was also humble. yet i'm largely satisfied conceded i did like to keep a clean sheet with a missed penalty and one goal conceded we can live with one point i can believe in

with him. dog man who left the pitch frustrated banks to have been sent out. as now for some other heroic or not so heroic moments from match day 16. said to have their eye on marco rosa and. next long term coach they might struggle to prise him away from got about where he's currently doing a pretty good job. and they were looking good again against us in the 34th minute found washed up on the line again lost in the chance to put them ahead . which he took with aplomb. but still got half coach pelligrino matter outside with the right head games and gonzalez with the right diving head.

clothes from his coach but just 3 minutes later the dentist zaccaria gladbach back in france. leaving rosa with the last laugh. until such a budget went down in the book. and see last minute to get fired by the penalty. a meeting of on the day like sides and perhaps like mine. here's another promising if more high profile coach. using novels mom's life cyclo cross back down for the previous weekend. but when norty mckinley put his team ahead against folks forward after just 4 minutes it looks like they've announced back. until midway through the 1st half when both

a course hosts on level terms. play an awful stuff and made it one in the 35th minute courtesy of a wicked deflections. it was not it's not a smile but all of the plaza are celebrating. but in the 2nd half philly or boundaries aside love again without there is massive gold but they say all right. it was to be a painful debut for felix i grew against our. notes in silence. and florian know that they're far from the site. and it was a grueling match for both sides one that required commitment. from neither side really looks that clinical. one young man however would make the

big difference towards the end felix 1st with his cross for every selassie. before sealing his 1st full day with a goal. believe. this. was a crappy goal but i'm just glad it went in and i think it's all good let's. look a year which is back in frankfurt after things didn't work out at real madrid. shall come also looking to recruit some former favorites after say out colossal notch perhaps also tell our entry fee. but again shall come frankfurt didn't take the lead andre silver did just that in the 28th minute. the hosts responded
